ASSEMBLY/INSTALLATION
Follow the instructions below to prepare your tool for operation.
1.
All tool operators and their immediate supervisors must become familiar with the operator safety instructions
2.
before operating the tool.
Included with each tool are one copy of these
Operating/Safety Instructions. Keep this publications for
3.
future reference.
Install a filter, regulator, lubricator unit and moisture trap on your air delivery system per the manufacturer's instructions for these devices. Additionally, install a pressure gauge as close as practical to the tool,
4.
preferably within 10 feet.
Select hoses with a minimum inner diameter of 1/4 inches and a maximum length of 100 feet.
If the tool is not used with an in-line lubrication system on the air supply it is necessary to periodically lubricate the tool with air tool lubrication.
Under low use, lubricate once a day. Under heavy use, lubricate twice a day. To lubricate, insert 2-3 drops of lubricant into the air supply fitting attached to the tool handle (FIG 2). Using to much oil will cause it to collect in the tool and be noticeable in the exhaust.
FIG. 2
2-3 Drops of
Air Tool Lubricant
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from a hose bursting, select hoses that are rated at least 200PSI.
5.
Select fittings that are appropriately sized for the selected hoses. The tool and air hose must have a hose coupling such that all pressure is removed from the tool when the coupling joint is disconnected.
WARNING
Never use non relieving couplers and/or female quick disconnect couplings on the tool.
Non relieving couplings and female couplings will trap high pressure air in the tool when the air line is disconnected. This will leave the tool charged with enough air after it has been disconnected to drive a nail. Only MALE pneumatic type air connectors should be fitted to the tool, so that high pressure air in the tool is vented to atmosphere as soon as the air line is disconnected.
6.
Set the regulator at the air delivery system to a PSI that falls within the tool's operating range of 60-100PSI. The correct pressure is the lowest pressure that will do the job.
OPERATION
LUBRICATION
WARNING
USE ONLY THE AIR TOOL LUBRICANTS SUPPLIED WITH
THE TOOL.
